Nadderwater: your questions answered

Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?

Frequently. If the tray moves, the support needs fixing first.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How long before I can shower?

Normally by the following day. We’ll tell you the exact time when we finish.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours, or most of a day for a full resurface in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
  2. Any sealant in the way is cut out.
  3. The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
  4. The surface is refinished to match.
  5. We tidy up and tell you when you can shower.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a tray normally means removing the screen and tiling, preparing a new base and re-tiling. Repairing or resurfacing the tray leaves all of that alone. Our shower tray repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our full price list.

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Keep harsh chemicals off the tray
  • Rinse the tray after each shower
  • Check the seal every few months
  • Use the extractor fan

Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.

If the tray creaks or moves, get it checked, before it cracks.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Nadderwater, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Nadderwater

Most cracked trays are trays that flex: without a solid, level base underneath, it flexes each time someone stands on it. Dropped bottles cause most chips.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A tray that flexes
  • Cracks running from the waste
  • Damage around the waste
  • Scratches in the surface

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

What your shower tray is made of matters

Acrylic

Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it needs firm support underneath. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.

Enamelled steel

Enamelled steel trays behave like steel baths. Exposed metal can rust, so it’s worth repairing early.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
  • A tray broken in more than one place
  • Rotten or damaged flooring underneath

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
